General Description of Business
American Spectrum Realty, Inc. (“ASR” or, collectively, as a consolidated entity with its subsidiaries, the “Company”) is a Maryland corporation established on August 8, 2000. The Company is a full-service real estate corporation, which owns, manages and operates income-producing properties. Substantially all of the Company’s assets are held through an operating partnership (the “Operating Partnership”) in which the Company, as of December 31, 2005, held the sole general partner interest of .97% and a limited partnership interest totaling 85.68%. As of December 31, 2005, through its majority-owned subsidiary, the Operating Partnership, the Company owned and operated 22 properties, which consisted of 18 office buildings, three industrial properties, and one shopping center. The 22 properties are located in seven states.
During 2005, the Company sold three properties, which consisted of a vacant single tenant industrial property located in San Diego, California, a shopping center located in Columbia, South Carolina and an apartment complex located in Hazelwood, Missouri. During 2004, the Company sold three properties, which consisted of an office building, an industrial property and a parcel of undeveloped land, and acquired two office buildings in Houston, Texas. During 2003, the Company sold eleven properties, which consisted of two apartment complexes, two office buildings, six industrial properties and one shopping center, and acquired four office buildings in Houston, Texas. The property sales are part of the Company’s strategy to sell its non-core property types—apartment and shopping center properties—and to sell its properties located in the Midwest and Carolina’s, its non-core markets. The Company intends to focus primarily on multi-tenant office and industrial properties located in Texas, California and Arizona.
The Company is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership. As the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, the Company generally has the exclusive power to manage and conduct the business of the Operating Partnership under its partnership agreement. The Company’s interest as a limited partner in the Operating Partnership entitles it to share in any cash distributions from, and in profits and losses of, the Operating Partnership. If the Company receives any distributions from the Operating Partnership, it intends, in turn, if permitted by law, to pay dividends to its common stockholders so that the amount of dividends paid on each share of common stock equals four times the amount of distributions paid on each limited partnership unit in the Operating Partnership (“OP Unit”). The intended dividend of four times the distribution from each limited partnership unit is a result of the Company’s one-for-four reverse stock split in March 2004. Most of the properties are owned by the Operating Partnership through subsidiary limited partnerships or limited liability companies.
Holders of the OP Units have the option to redeem their units and to receive, at the option of the Company, in exchange for each four OP Units (i) one share of Common Stock of the Company, or (ii) cash equal to the market value of one share of Common Stock of the Company at the date of conversion, but no fractional shares will be issued.
The Board of Directors has concluded that it is not in the best interests of the Company to elect to be treated as a real estate investment trust (or REIT), as defined under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and it intends to seek stockholder approval of an amendment to its Articles of Incorporation which would delete a provision which restricts the ability of stockholders to acquire shares in excess of certain ownership limitations. This provision was included in the Articles to preserve the Company’s ability to elect to be taxed as a REIT in the future, since one of the requirements of REIT status is that not more than 50% of a REIT’s equity securities may be held by 5 or fewer stockholders.
In general, a REIT is a company that owns or provides financing for real estate and pays annual distributions to investors of at least 90% of its taxable income. A REIT typically is not subject to federal
3
income taxation on its net income, provided applicable income tax requirements are satisfied, but dividends paid by a REIT are generally taxed at ordinary income rates, rather than at capital gain rates, as are other corporate dividends. Since its inception, the Company has been taxed as a C corporation.
The Company expects to meet its short-term liquidity requirements for normal property operating expenses and general and administrative expenses from cash generated by operations and cash currently held. In addition, the Company anticipates capital costs to be incurred related to leasing space and improvements to properties provided the estimated leasing of space is complete. The Company anticipates meeting these obligations with the net cash proceeds generated during the first quarter of 2006 from the sale of three properties and from the use of funds held in escrow by lenders. Based on current analysis, the Company expects the cash generated from the three sales will be adequate to meet these obligations.
The Company has paid, refinanced or extended all material debt which was due to mature in 2005 and 2006 with the exception of a mortgage loan due to mature in July 2006 on its one remaining shopping center property. The lender was a major tenant at another shopping center property sold in 2005. The Company anticipates either refinancing the debt, negotiating a loan extension or selling this property.
Business Objectives and Strategy
The Company’s fundamental business objective is to maximize stockholder value. The Company intends to achieve its business objective through opportunistic investments and by executing its other operating strategies.
The Company’s future growth will be focused on multi-tenant suburban office and industrial properties in the high growth markets of Texas, Arizona and California. Properties in non-core markets are expected to be sold and the net proceeds redeployed into funding future acquisitions in core markets and to pay for capital expenditures and reduce debt.
Opportunities to Acquire Undervalued and Undermanaged Properties. The Company believes it is positioned to invest in properties, either individually or in portfolios, at attractive prices, often at costs lower than replacement cost. This will be accomplished using the Company’s knowledge of its core geographical markets and core property types, as well as its established capability to identify, and negotiate with, highly-motivated sellers, which include individuals as well as such institutions as banks, insurance companies and pension funds. The Company will not set a maximum target purchase price but rather it will tailor its acquisitions to under performing properties, which the Company believes are attractively priced due to relative physical or operating deficiencies. The Company believes that its real estate expertise will allow it to, when necessary, reposition, renovate or redevelop these properties to make them competitive in their local markets.
Competitive Advantages. The Company believes it has competitive advantages that will enable it to be selective with respect to real estate investment opportunities and allow it to successfully pursue its growth strategy. Based on its management’s experience, the Company expects that its presence in geographically diverse markets will increase its exposure to opportunities for attractive acquisitions of various types of properties throughout its operating region and provide it with competitive advantages which enhance its ability to do so, including:
· strong local market expertise;
· long-standing relationships with tenants, real estate brokers, institutions and other owners of real estate in each local market;
· fully integrated real estate operations which allow quick response to acquisition opportunities;
· access to capital markets at competitive rates as a public company;
4
· ability to acquire properties in exchange for ASR shares or OP Units which may make it a more attractive purchaser when compared to purchasers who are not similarly structured or are unable to make similar use of equity to purchase properties.
Property Management Strategies. The Company has procedures and expertise which permit it to manage effectively a variety of types of properties throughout the United States. The decentralized structure with strong local management enables it to operate efficiently. In seeking to maximize revenues, minimize costs and increase the value of the properties, the Company follows aggressive property management policies. Among the property management techniques emphasized are regular and comprehensive maintenance programs, regular and comprehensive financial analyses, the use of a master property and casualty insurance program, aggressive restructuring or conversion of tenant spaces and frequent appearances before property tax assessors, planning commissions and other local governmental bodies. The Company believes that its management of the properties will be a substantial factor in its ability to realize its objectives of maximizing earnings.
Managing and Monitoring Investments. The Company has actively managed the property portfolio and administered its investments. The Company will monitor issues including the financial advantages of property sales, minimization of real estate taxes, and insurance costs. Also, the Company will actively analyze diversification, review tenant financial statements to deal with potential problems quickly and will restructure investments in the case of underperforming and non-performing properties.
The Company competes with other entities both to locate suitable properties for acquisition and to locate purchasers for its properties. While the markets in which it competes are highly fragmented with no dominant competitors, the Company faces substantial competition in both its leasing and property acquisition activities. There are numerous other similar types of properties located in close proximity to each of its properties. The amount of leasable space available in any market could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to rent space and on the rents charged. Competition for acquisition of existing properties from institutional investors and publicly traded REITs has increased substantially in the past several years. In many of the Company’s markets, institutional investors and owners and developers of properties compete vigorously for the acquisition, development and leasing of space. Many of these competitors have greater resources and more experience than the Company.
As of December 31, 2005, ASR employed 28 individuals, including on-site property management and maintenance personnel.
Various federal, state and local laws and regulations subject property owners and operators to liability for reporting, investigating, remediating, and monitoring of regulated hazardous substances released on or from a property. These laws and regulations often impose strict liability without regard to whether the owner or operator knew of, or actually caused, the release. The presence of, or the failure to properly report, investigate, remediate, or monitor hazardous substances could adversely affect the financial condition of the Company or the ability of the Company to operate the properties. In addition, these factors could hinder the Company’s ability to borrow against the properties. The presence of hazardous substances on a property also could result in personal injury or similar claims by private plaintiffs. In addition, there are federal, state and local laws and regulations which impose requirements on the storage, use, management and disposal of regulated hazardous materials or substances. The failure to comply with those requirements could result in the imposition of liability, including penalties or fines, on the owner or
5
operator of the properties. Future laws or regulations could also impose unanticipated material environmental liabilities on the Company in connection with any of the properties.
The Company is aware that two of its properties may contain hazardous substances above reportable levels. Both properties are located in their respective state’s environmental funds. During 2005, the Company accrued a $75,000 liability for future environmental cleanup efforts for one of the properties. These efforts, which have been approved by the regulatory authorities, will take place over the next two years. The accrual is reflected on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2005. It is anticipated that cleanup costs for the other property will be paid by the state. Consequently, no amount has been accrued in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the other property.
The Company may decide to acquire a property with known or suspected environmental contamination after it evaluates that business risk, the potential costs of investigation or remediation, and the potential costs to cure identified non-compliances with environmental laws or regulations. In connection with its acquisition of properties, the Company may seek to have the seller indemnify it against environmental conditions or non-compliances existing as of the date of purchase, and under appropriate circumstances, it may obtain environmental insurance. In some instances, the Company may become the assignee of or successor to the seller’s indemnification rights arising from the seller’s acquisition agreement for the property. Additionally, the Company may try to structure its leases for the property to require the tenant to assume all or some of the responsibility for environmental compliance and remediation, and to provide that material non-compliance with environmental laws or regulations will be deemed a default under the lease. However, there can be no assurances that, despite these efforts, liability will not be imposed on the Company under applicable federal, state, or local environmental laws or regulations relating to the properties.
The Company currently carries comprehensive liability, fire, terrorism, extended coverage and rental loss insurance covering all of its properties, with policy specifications and insured limits which the Company believes are adequate and appropriate under the circumstances. There are, however, types of losses that are not generally insured because they are either uninsurable or not economically feasible to insure. In addition, costs to carry all of the types of insurance above may not always be economically feasible.
Should an uninsured loss or a loss in excess of insured limits occur, the Company could lose its capital invested in the property, as well as the anticipated future revenues from the property and, in the case of debt which is with recourse to the Company, would remain obligated for any mortgage debt or other financial obligations related to the property. Any such loss would adversely affect the Company. Moreover, the Company will generally be liable for any unsatisfied obligations other than non-recourse obligations. The Company believes that its properties are adequately insured. No assurance can be given that material losses in excess of insurance proceeds will not occur in the future.
Capital expenditure requirements include both normal recurring capital expenditures, and tenant improvements and lease commissions relating to the leasing of space to new or renewing tenants. The Company has a history of acquiring properties which required renovation, repositioning or management changes to improve their performance and to enable them to compete effectively. The Company plans to continue to invest in these types of properties. These properties may require major capital expenditures or significant tenant improvements in order to maximize their cash flows.

No properties were acquired during 2005.
On February 10, 2006, the Company purchased 2470 Gray Falls, a 41,475 square foot office property located in Houston, Texas. Acquisition costs of approximately $2,600,000 consisted of seller financing and proceeds from a tax-deferred exchange.
On February 2, 2006, the Company purchased 2401 Fountainview, a 174,369 square foot office property located in Houston, Texas. Acquisition costs of approximately $17,000,000 consisted of a new mortgage loan and proceeds from a tax deferred exchange.
The Company sold three properties during 2005. On October 27, 2005, the Company sold The Lakes, a 311,912 square foot/408 unit apartment complex located in Hazelwood, Missouri for a sales price of $17,125,000. On September 22, 2005, the Company sold Richardson Plaza a 107,827 square foot shopping center located in Columbia, South Carolina for a sales price of $5,000,000. On March 1, 2005, the Company sold Sorrento I, a vacant 43,036 square foot single tenant industrial property located in San Diego, California for a sales price of $4,918,000.
A gain of $7,895,000 was generated in connection with the three sales, which is reflected as discontinued operations in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2005. The sales generated proceeds of $15,298,000, of which $5,210,000 was held in escrow as of December 31, 2005. It is anticipated that the proceeds held in escrow will be used as a source to facilitate the funding of future acquisitions in tax-deferred exchanges.
The Company sold three properties during the first quarter of 2006. On January 13, 2006, the Company sold Mira Mesa, an 88,295 square foot office property located in San Diego, California for a sales price of $20,250,000. On January 6, 2006, the Company sold Sorrento II, an 88,073 square foot industrial property located in San Diego, California for a sales price of $18,300,000. On March 14, 2006, the Company sold Countryside, an 82,873 square foot office property located in Palatine, Illinois for a sales price of $7,950,000. Proceeds of approximately $11,300,000 were received as a result of the three transactions, of which approximately $8,900,000 is being held in escrow to assist the funding of future acquisitions in tax-deferred exchanges. The Company anticipates gains will be recorded in the first quarter of 2006 as a result of the sales.
The Company’s high level of debt increases its risk of default and may have a negative impact on the results of operations. This could adversely affect the Company’s ability to make distributions and the market price of its Common Stock.
The Company’s high level of debt increases the Company’s risk of default on its obligations and adversely affects the Company’s funds from operations and its ability to make distributions to its stockholders. Further, due to the high level of debt, the Company may be restricted in its ability to refinance some or all of its indebtedness and the terms of any new or refinanced debt may not be as favorable as those of some of its existing indebtedness. The Company has a higher ratio of indebtedness to assets than many other real estate companies. This could adversely affect the market price for the Company’s Common Stock.
The Company may need to refinance mortgage loans and sell properties to meet its obligations.
The Company expects to require substantial cash to meet its operating requirements, including budgeted capital expenditures if the leasing projections are met. To meet these obligations, the Company
7
may be required to refinance mortgage indebtedness and/or sell certain assets to provide cash. The Company cannot provide assurance that it will be successful in refinancing the mortgage indebtedness and that it will have sufficient cash to meet its obligations. The Company has paid, refinanced or extended all material debt which was due to mature in 2005 and 2006 with the exception of a mortgage loan due to mature in July 2006 on its one remaining shopping center property. The Company anticipates either refinancing the debt, negotiating a loan extension or selling this property. In addition, to fulfill the Company’s growth strategy, the Company may be required to raise additional cash through debt or equity financing.
There are risks inherent in the Company’s acquisition and development strategy. The Company may not make profitable investments.
The Company plans to pursue its growth strategy through the acquisition and development of additional properties. The Company does not know that this strategy will succeed. The Company may have difficulty finding new properties, negotiating with new or existing tenants or securing acceptable financing. In addition, investing in additional properties is subject to many risks. Also, the Company’s acquisition strategy of investing in under-valued assets subjects the Company to increased risks. The Company may not succeed in turning around these properties. The Company may not make a profit on these investments.
The Company has a history of losses. The Company cannot assure the stockholders that it will become profitable in the future.
The Company has incurred losses in each of the three years ended December 31, 2005. The Company cannot assure the stockholders that it will not continue to have losses after depreciation and amortization under generally accepted accounting principles.
Real property investments entail risk. The Company’s properties may not be profitable, may not result in distributions and/or may depreciate.
Properties acquired by the Company: (i) may not operate at a profit; (ii) may not perform to the Company’s expectations; (iii) may not appreciate in value; (iv) may depreciate in value; (v) may not ever be sold at a profit; and/or (vi) may not result in dividends. The marketability and value of any properties will depend upon many factors beyond the Company’s control, including but not limited to general economic conditions, zoning laws, tax laws and the availability of financing.
The Company may not be able to enter into favorable leases upon the expiration of current leases and on current vacant space.
Over the next three years, approximately 60% of the square footage of the Company’s total rentable square footage of industrial, office and shopping center properties will expire. In addition, 14% of the Company’s total rentable square footage was vacant as of December 31,2005. The Company may be unable to enter into leases for all or a portion of this space. If the Company enters into leases, the Company may not do so at comparable lease rates, without incurring additional expenses. If the Company is unsuccessful in leasing the space, or cannot re-lease the space at current rental rates or higher rental rates, it could reduce the distributions to shareholders and adversely affect the market price of the Company’s Common Stock.
The Company may invest in joint ventures, which adds another layer of risk to its business.
The Company may acquire properties through joint ventures, which could subject the Company to certain risks that may not otherwise be present if investments were made directly by the Company. These risks include: (i) the potential that the Company’s joint venture partner may not perform; (ii) the joint venture partner may have economic or business interests or goals which are inconsistent with or adverse to
8
those of the Company; (iii) the joint venture partner may take actions contrary to the requests or instructions of the Company or contrary to the Company’s objectives or policies; and (iv) the joint venturers may not be able to agree on matters relating to the property they jointly own.
The Company also may participate with other investors, including possibly investment programs or other entities affiliated with management, in investments as tenants-in-common or in some other joint ownership or venture. The risks of such joint ownership may be similar to those mentioned above for joint ventures and, in the case of a tenancy-in-common, each co-tenant normally has the right, if an unresolvable dispute arises, to seek partition of the property, which partition might decrease the value of each portion of the divided property.
The Company could incur unforeseen environmental liabilities.
Various federal, state and local laws and regulations subject property owners and operators to liability for reporting, investigating, remediating, and monitoring regulated hazardous substances released on or from a property. These laws and regulations often impose strict liability without regard to whether the owner or operator knew of, or actually caused, the release. The presence of, or the failure to properly report, investigate, remediate, or monitor hazardous substances could adversely affect the financial condition of the Company or the ability of the Company to operate the properties. In addition, these factors could hinder the Company’s ability to borrow against the properties. The presence of hazardous substances on a property also could result in personal injury or similar claims by private plaintiffs. In addition, there are federal, state and local laws and regulations which impose requirements on the storage, use, management and disposal of regulated hazardous materials or substances. The failure to comply with those requirements could result in the imposition of liability, including penalties or fines, on the owner or operator of the properties. Future laws or regulations could also impose unanticipated material environmental liabilities on the Company in connection with any of the properties. The costs of complying with these environmental laws and regulations for the Company’s properties could adversely affect the Company’s operating costs and, if contamination is present, the value of those properties.
The Company faces intense competition in all of its markets.
Numerous properties compete with the Company’s properties in attracting tenants to lease space. Additional properties may be built in the markets in which the Company’s properties are located. The number and quality of competitive properties in a particular area will have a material effect on the Company’s ability to lease space at existing properties or at newly acquired properties and on the rents charged. Some of these competing properties may be newer or better located than the Company’s properties. There are a significant number of buyers of properties, including institutional investors and publicly traded REITs. Many of these competitors have significantly greater financial resources and experience than the Company. This has resulted in increased competition in acquiring attractive properties. This competition can adversely affect the Company’s ability to acquire properties and increase its distributions.
The Company does not intend to elect REIT status.
The Board of Directors has determined that it is not in the Company’s best interests to make a REIT election. The Company is currently taxed as a C corporation and subject to a corporate income tax and expects to be for the foreseeable future.

The industrial properties are primarily designed for warehouse, distribution and light manufacturing and range in size from 101,056 square feet to 109,012 square feet. As of December 31, 2005, multiple tenants occupied two of the industrial properties and one of the properties was partially occupied by a single tenant. As of December 31, 2005, the weighted average occupancy of the industrial properties held for investment was 81%.

11
The industrial properties have leases whose remaining terms range from less than one to seven years. Most of the leases are industrial gross leases whereby the tenant pays as additional rent its pro rata share of common area maintenance and repair costs and its share of the increase in taxes and insurance over a base amount. Certain of these leases call for fixed or consumer-price-index-based rent increases. Some of the leases are triple net leases whereby the tenants are required to pay their pro rata share of the properties’ operating costs, common area maintenance, property taxes, insurance and non-structural repairs.
The following table sets forth, for the periods specified, the number of expiring leases, the total rentable area subject to expiring leases, average occupancy represented by expiring leases and total effective annual base rent represented by expiring leases.

The following is information concerning legal proceedings to which the Company or its subsidiaries is a party or of which any of their property is subject:
The Company is a defendant in a lawsuit related to the sale of Van Buren, a parcel of undeveloped land sold in September 2004. The lawsuit, filed January 21, 2005 in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California, is associated with a participating profits agreement. The plaintiff, Warren F. Ryan, seeks general damages, including interest, of $700,000 or according to proof at trial; special damages in an unspecified amount; declaratory relief, and miscellaneous relief such as attorney’s fees and costs. Discovery has commenced in this action and, under the current schedule, discovery is set to close on May 31, 2006. The Court has not set a trial date. The Company believes that this claim is without merit and is vigorously defending itself.
Certain claims and lawsuits have arisen against the Company in its normal course of business. The Company believes that such claims and lawsuits will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, cash flow or results of operations.

(2) Includes 5,000 shares purchased for $60.00 per share pursuant to a put and call agreement dated October 23, 2001.
The approximate number of holders of the shares of the Company’s Common Stock was 4,600 as of March 1, 2006.
No dividends were declared to holders of the Company’s Common Stock in 2005 or 2004.
In 2003, the Company’s Board of Directors established a policy of meeting on or about the 45th day after the end of each calendar quarter to consider the declaration and payment of a dividend.
The Board has concluded that it is not in the best interests of the Company to elect to be treated as a real estate investment trust (or REIT), as defined under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended,
14
and it intends to seek stockholder approval of an amendment to its Articles of Incorporation which would delete a provision which restricts the ability of stockholders to acquire shares in excess of certain ownership limitations. This provision was included in the Articles to preserve the Company’s ability to elect to be taxed as a REIT in the future, since one of the requirements of REIT status is that not more than 50% of a REIT’s equity securities may be held by 5 or fewer stockholders.
In general, a REIT is a company that owns or provides financing for real estate and pays annual distributions to investors of at least 90% of its taxable income. A REIT typically is not subject to federal income taxation on its net income, provided applicable income tax requirements are satisfied, but dividends paid by a REIT are generally taxed at ordinary income rates, rather than at capital gain rates, as are other corporate dividends. Since its inception, the Company has been taxed as a C corporation.
Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities
In 2004, the Company issued 10,000 shares to the seller of an office property as part of the Company’s consideration for the acquisition of the property. The consideration for the shares amounted to $70,700 based on a value of $7.07 per share. In 2005, the Company repurchased the shares in a private transaction for $85,000, or $8.50 per share. In 2003, the Company issued 129,945 shares to two directors in connection with the cancellation of debt and issued 15,243 shares to John N. Galardi, a director and principal stockholder of the Company, for a purchase price of $250,000. These issuances of the Common Stock by the Company were exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to Section 4(2) and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder.
The following table provides information as of December 31, 2005 regarding the compensation plan under which equity securities of the Company are authorized for issuance:

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
American Spectrum Realty, Inc. (“ASR” or, collectively, as a consolidated entity with its subsidiaries, the “Company”) is a Maryland corporation established on August 8, 2000. The Company is a full-service real estate corporation, which owns, manages and operates income-producing properties. Substantially all of the Company’s assets are held through an operating partnership (the “Operating Partnership”) in which the Company, as of December 31, 2005, held the sole general partner interest of .97% and a limited partnership interest totaling 85.68%. As of December 31, 2005, through its majority-owned subsidiary, the Operating Partnership, the Company owned and operated 22 properties, which consisted of 18 office buildings, three industrial properties, and one shopping center. The 22 properties are located in seven states.
During 2005, the Company sold three properties, which consisted of a vacant single tenant industrial property located in San Diego, California, a shopping center located in Columbia, South Carolina and an apartment complex located in Hazelwood, Missouri. During 2004, the Company sold three properties,
16
which consisted of an office building, an industrial property and a parcel of undeveloped land, and acquired two office buildings in Houston, Texas. During 2003, the Company sold eleven properties, which consisted of two apartment complexes, two office buildings, six industrial properties and one shopping center, and acquired four office buildings in Houston, Texas. The property sales are part of the Company’s strategy to sell its non-core property types—apartment and shopping center properties—and to sell its properties located in the Midwest and Carolina’s, its non-core markets. The Company intends to focus primarily on multi-tenant office and industrial properties located in Texas, California and Arizona.
The properties owned by the Company were 86% occupied at December 31, 2005 and 2004. Properties held for investment at December 31, 2005 and 2004 were 88% and 89% occupied, respectively. Properties held for investment considered stabilized, not undergoing major redevelopment, were 89% occupied at December 31, 2005 and 90% occupied at December 31, 2004 and properties under redevelopment were 77% occupied at December 31, 2005 compared to 72% at December 31, 2004. The Company continues to aggressively pursue prospective tenants to increase its occupancy, which should have the effect of improving operational results.
In the accompanying financial statements, properties sold or held for sale are classified as “Real estate held for sale” as of December 31, 2005, and their results of operations for the three years ended December 31, 2005 are shown in the section “Discontinued operations”. Therefore the revenues and expenses reported for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2003, 2004 and 2005 reflect results from properties currently held for investment by the Company. The following discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations of the Company should be read in conjunction with the selected financial data in Item 6 and the consolidated financial statements of the Company, including the notes thereto, included in Item 15.
During 2006 through the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Company acquired two properties and had two more in escrow for purchase. All four of these properties are located in Houston, Texas, a core market. Three properties, which were classified as “Real estate held for sale” as of December 31, 2005, were sold during the first quarter of 2006 as of the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Company intends to continue to seek to acquire additional properties in core markets and further reduce its non-core assets while focusing on an aggressive leasing program during 2006.
The major accounting policies followed by the Company are listed in Note 2—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies—of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. The consolidated financial statements of the Company are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the results of operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
The Company believes the following critical accounting policies affect its more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements:
· Certain leases provide for tenant occupancy during periods for which no rent is due or where minimum rent payments increase during the term of the lease. The Company records rental income for the full term of each lease on a straight-line basis. Accordingly, a receivable, if deemed collectible, is recorded from tenants equal to the excess of the amount that would have been collected on a straight-line basis over the amount collected and currently due (Deferred Rent Receivable). When a property is acquired, the term of existing leases is considered to commence as of the acquisition date for purposes of this calculation.
17
· Many of the Company’s leases provide for Common Area Maintenance (“CAM”)/Escalations (“ESC”) as the additional tenant revenue amounts due to the Company in addition to base rent. CAM/ESC represents increases in certain property operating expenses (as defined in each respective lease agreement) over the actual operating expense of the property in the base year. The base year is stated in the lease agreement; typically, the year in which the lease commenced. Generally, each tenant is responsible for his prorated share of increases in operating expenses. Tenants are billed an estimated CAM/ESC charge based on the budgeted operating expenses for the year. Within 90 days after the end of each fiscal year, a reconciliation and true up billing of CAM/ESC charges is performed based on actual operating expenses.
· Rental properties are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation, unless circumstances indicate that cost, net of accumulated depreciation, cannot be recovered, in which case the carrying value of the property is reduced to estimated fair value. Estimated fair value (i) is based upon the Company’s plans for the continued operation of each property and (ii) is computed using estimated sales price, as determined by prevailing market values for comparable properties and/or the use of capitalization rates multiplied by annualized net operating income based upon the age, construction and use of the building. The fulfillment of the Company’s plans related to each of its properties is dependent upon, among other things, the presence of economic conditions which will enable the Company to continue to hold and operate the properties prior to their eventual sale. Due to uncertainties inherent in the valuation process and in the economy, the actual results of operating and disposing of the Company’s properties could be materially different than current expectations.
· Gains on property sales are accounted for in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 66, “Accounting for Sales of Real Estate”. Gains are recognized in full when real estate is sold, provided (i) the gain is determinable, that is, the collectibility of the sales price is reasonably assured or the amount that will not be collectible can be estimated, and (ii) the earnings process is virtually complete, that is, the Company is not obligated to perform significant activities after the sale to earn the gain. Losses on property sales are recognized immediately.

Rental revenue. Rental revenue for the year ended December 31, 2005 increased $421,000, or 2.2%, in comparison to the year ended December 31, 2004. This increase was attributable to $1,001,000 in revenue generated from two office properties acquired in August and October 2004, offset by $580,000 in fewer revenues from properties owned on December 31, 2004 and 2005 (“Same Properties”). This decrease in Same Properties revenue was primarily due to $293,000 in lease buyout revenue obtained at an office property in California during 2004 and due to a decrease in overall occupancy. Weighted average occupancy of properties held for investment decreased from 89% at December 31, 2004 to 88% at
18
December 31, 2005. Rental revenue from the acquired properties was included in the Company’s results since their respective dates of acquisition.
Property operating expenses. The increase of $1,603,000, or 22.5%, was principally due to $871,000 in expenses related to the two acquired properties mentioned above. In addition, Same Properties utilities increased $413,000 as a result of higher electricity rates. Property general and administrative expenses increased in large part due to costs associated with an environmental matter at the Company’s industrial property in Indiana. Further, property taxes rose as a result of an increase in the assessed value of several properties.
General and administrative. The decrease of $735,000, or 16.6%, was in large part due to a decrease in compensation expense of $422,000, primarily due to an overall reduction of corporate staff. Further, non-recurring costs of $183,000 associated with the Company’s March 2004 reverse stock split and a $75,000 treasury management fee were incurred during 2004. The decrease was also attributable to a cost reduction related to the printing of the Company’s Annual Report, a decrease in corporate insurance expense, and other cost cutting measures implemented by management.
Depreciation and amortization. The increase of $930,000, or 12.3%, was in large part due to the depreciation of capital improvements and amortization of capitalized lease costs. During 2005 and 2004, the Company incurred $4,886,000 and $4,516,000, respectively, in capital improvements on its existing properties, primarily for renovations and tenant improvements. The increase was also attributable to depreciation and amortization of $296,000 related to the two acquired properties mentioned above.
Interest expense. The decrease of $449,000, or 4.8%, was primarily due to refinancing activities. Lower interest rates were obtained on several loans refinanced subsequent to December 31, 2004. The refinancing of a property in August 2004 resulted in a $179,000 decrease in amortized loan fees during 2005. In addition, a principal pay-down of $4,635,000 in October 2005 on one of the Company’s litigation notes payable attributed to the decrease. The decrease was partially offset by additional interest expense of $285,000 related to one of the acquired properties mentioned above.
Income taxes. The Company recognized a deferred income tax benefit of $3,360,000 for 2005 compared to $2,222,000 for 2004. This increase was due to an increase in taxable losses for 2005.
Minority interest. The share of loss for the year ended December 31, 2005 for the holders of OP Units was $320,000 compared to $1,299,000 for the year ended December 31, 2004. The 2005 loss represents an average of 13.4% limited partner interest in the Operating Partnership not held by the Company during 2005. The 2004 loss represents the 12.5% limited partner interest in the Operating Partnership not held by the Company during 2004.
Loss on extinguishment of debt. During 2005, the Company recorded a loss of $95,000 on early extinguishment of debt on the write-off off unamortized loan costs in connection with the refinance of debt on 800 and 888 Sam Houston Parkway. During 2004, the Company recorded a net loss on early extinguishment of debt of $116,000. The net loss in 2004 consisted of a prepayment penalty of $120,000 and the write-off of unamortized loan costs of $94,000 in connection with the 2004 refinance debt on San Felipe, and a $98,000 gain related to the purchase of interests of former limited partners of Fund II in the $8,800,000 promissory note related to the settlement of the previously disclosed Teachout litigation. The Company purchased 2,347 of the 86,653 interests outstanding at $60 per unit, which reduced its debt obligation related to the settlement $238,338. See Note 9—Notes Payable, Litigation Settlement—of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Discontinued operations. The Company recorded a loss from operations of discontinued operations of $2,110,000 during 2005 related to the three properties classified as “Real estate held for sale” at December 31, 2005 and the three properties sold during 2005. The Company recorded a loss from operations of discontinued operations of $2,574,000 during 2004 related to three properties classified as
19
“Real estate held for sale” at December 31, 2005, the three properties sold during 2005 and three properties sold during 2004. See Note 5—Discontinued Operations—of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Gain on sale of discontinued operations. The Company sold three properties—one shopping center, one industrial property and one apartment complex—during 2005 for an aggregate sales price of $27,043,000. The three properties sold during 2005 generated a net gain on sale of discontinued operations of $7,895,000. The Company sold three properties—one office building, one industrial property and a parcel of undeveloped land—during 2004 for an aggregate sales price of $12,214,000. Losses totaling $2,597,000 were recorded on the sale of the office building and the parcel of undeveloped land. The sale of the industrial property generated a gain of $299,000. An income tax expense on discontinued operations of $2,198,000 was recorded during the year ended December 31, 2005 compared to an income tax benefit of $985,000 during the year ended December 31, 2004.

Rental revenue. The increase of $2,124,000, or 12.2%, was attributable to (i) $2,273,000 in revenue generated from six office properties acquired in May 2003 through October 2004, (ii) higher revenues of $637,000 for properties owned on December 31, 2004 and 2003 and (iii) a $196,000 payment received from the owner of a neighboring property for past use of common parking areas. The increase in revenue for properties owned on December 31, 2004 and 2003 was primarily attributable to the Company’s office properties, particularly to an office property located in San Diego, California in which, as a result of aggressive lease up efforts, occupancy rose to 76% at December 31, 2004 from 35% at December 31, 2003. Rental revenue from the six acquired office properties was included in the Company’s results since their respective dates of acquisition. The weighted average occupancy of properties held for investment increased to 89% at December 31, 2004 from 88% at December 31, 2003.
Property operating expenses. The increase of $694,000, or 10.8%, was due to the expenses of $1,271,000 related to the six acquired office properties mentioned above, offset in part by a reduction in operating expenses for other properties owned by the Company due to the continued monitoring and controlling of expenses.
20
General and administrative. The decrease of $2,363,000 was in large part due to a decrease in compensation expense of $1,335,000, primarily due to the closure of the Company’s offices in New York and San Diego and the downsizing of its administrative staff, especially in the St. Louis and California offices. The closure of these offices and the downsizing resulted in a decrease in other administrative costs of approximately $400,000. Further, professional fees decreased approximately $500,000 due to the settlement of two major lawsuits in 2003 and the hiring of in-house legal counsel. Both of these factors contributed to the reduced fees for outside legal services incurred during 2004 compared to 2003.
Depreciation and amortization. The increase of $1,090,000 was related to depreciation of capital improvements and amortization of capitalized lease costs incurred in 2004 and 2003 and also the depreciation related to the six acquired properties mentioned above. During 2004 and 2003, the Company incurred approximately $8,295,000 in capital improvements, primarily for renovations and tenant improvements, and $2,380,000 in capitalized lease costs. The tenant improvement and leasing costs corresponded with the Company’s increased occupancy.
Interest expense. The increase of $1,430,000 was primarily due to (i) the interest expense associated with the six acquired properties mentioned of approximately $700,000, (ii) higher interest expense and fees on increased debt on three of its properties of approximately $800,000, and (iii) the Company recording additional interest of approximately $350,000 at the default rate on debt related to one of its shopping center properties.
Income taxes. The Company recognized a deferred income tax benefit of $2,222,000 for 2004 compared to a deferred income tax expense of $278,000 for 2003, primarily due to an increase in taxable losses for 2004.
Minority interest. The share of loss for the year ended December 31, 2004 for the holders of OP Units was $1,299,000 compared to $2,124,000 for the year ended December 31, 2003. The 2004 loss represents an average of 12.5% limited partner interest in the Operating Partnership not held by the Company during 2004. The 2003 loss represents the 12.9% limited partner interest in the Operating Partnership not held by the Company during 2003.
Loss on extinguishment of debt During 2004, the Company recorded a net loss on early extinguishment of debt of $116,000. The net loss consisted of (i) a prepayment penalty of $120,000 and the write-off of unamortized loan costs of $94,000 in connection with the 2004 refinance of San Felipe, and (ii) a $98,000 gain related to the purchase of interests of former limited partners of Fund II in the $8,800,000 promissory note related to the settlement of the Teachout litigation.. The Company purchased 2,347 of the 86,653 interests outstanding at $60 per unit, which reduced its debt obligation related to the settlement $238,338. During 2003, in connection with the 2003 refinance of San Felipe, the Company recorded a loss on early extinguishments of debt of $145,000 related to the write-off of an unamortized loan discount and prepayment penalty.
Discontinued operations. The Company recorded a loss from operations of discontinued operations of $2,574,000 during 2004 related to the three properties sold in 2004 and six properties classified as “Real estate held for sale” at December 31, 2004. The Company recorded a loss from operations of discontinued operations of $2,751,000 during 2003 related to fourteen properties sold in 2003 and 2004 and six properties classified as “Real estate held for sale” as of December 31, 2004.

Gain on sale of discontinued operations. The Company sold three properties—one office building, one industrial property one parcel of undeveloped land—during 2004 for an aggregate sales price of $12,214,000. Losses totaling $2,597,000 were recorded on the sale of the office building and the parcel of undeveloped land. The sale of the industrial property generated a gain of $299,000. The Company sold eleven properties during 2003 for an aggregate sales price of $61,162,000 and recognized a net gain of $2,540,000, after taking into consideration an impairment charge totaling $7,500,000 relating to four of the eleven properties. The impairment charges were based on the anticipated sales prices less costs to sell as compared to the carrying value of the assets. An income tax benefit on discontinued operations of $985,000 was recorded during the year ended December 31, 2004 compared to $1,656,000 during the year ended December 31, 2003.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
During 2005, the Company derived cash from collection of rents, net proceeds received from refinances and property sales. Major uses of cash included payment for capital improvements to real estate assets, primarily for tenant improvements, payment of operational expenses, repayment of borrowings, which included a partial pay-down on one of the Company’s litigation notes payable, and the repurchase of common stock.
The Company reported net losses of $2,266,000, $9,107,000 and $14,348,000 for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. These results include the following non-cash items:

Cash was used in operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2003
22
primarily to (i) fund operations, ii) pay real estate taxes and iii) pay $1,000,000 on an obligation to a related party.
Net cash provided by investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2005 amounted to $5,202,000. This amount was due to proceeds of $15,298,000 (included $5,210,000 held in escrow for future acquisitions) received from the sale of three properties during the year, offset by funds used for capital improvements (primarily tenant improvements) of $4,886,000. Net cash provided by investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2004 amounted to $5,540,000. This amount was primarily attributable to proceeds of $11,357,000 (included $1,191,000 held in escrow) received from the sale of three properties during the period, partially offset by funds used for capital expenditures of $4,516,000. Net cash provided by investing activities of $27,518,000 during 2003 consisted of $40,179,000 in proceeds generated from property sales, partially offset by (i) funding of capital expenditures of $3,779,000, primarily for tenant improvements, (ii) acquisition of properties of $7,174,000 and (iii) acquisition of a note receivable secured by a property adjacent to a property owned by the Company of $1,730,000.
Net cash used by financing activities amounted to $4,020,000 for the year ended December 31, 2005. These uses were comprised of i) repayments of borrowings on property sales of $5,570,000, ii) a principal pay-down of $4,635,000 on the Company’s note payable to the former limited partners of Sierra Pacific Development Fund II, LP (“Fund II”), iii) repayment of a $532,000 loan from John N. Galardi, a director and principal stockholder, iv) scheduled principal payments of $2,072,000 and v) repurchases of common stock of $1,403,000. These amounts were offset by net proceeds provided by loan refinances of $9,242,000 and the collection of a $950,000 receivable from principal shareholders of the Company. Net cash used by financing activities amounted to $5,260,000 for the year ended December 31, 2004. Net funds provided from borrowings totaled $21,009,000, which consisted of $19,976,000 to refinance debt on four properties and $1,133,000 from other borrowings. Scheduled principal payments for the year ended December 31, 2004 amounted to $2,859,000. Repayment of borrowings on property sales and refinances for the year ended December 31, 2004 totaled $7,041,000 and $15,796,000, respectively. Net cash used in financing activities amounted to $21,901,000 during 2003. Repayments of borrowings of $36,937,000 during 2003 consisted of scheduled principal payments of $3,468,000, payment of refinanced loans of $4,300,000, and repayment of loans in connection with the sale of properties of $29,169,000. Proceeds from borrowings in 2003, which totaled $15,793,000, consisted of (i) $8,215,000 to fund the acquisition of two properties and the note receivable referred to above, (ii) $6,690,000 to refinance debt on two properties, (iii) $858,000 to fund insurance premiums and service fees and (iv) $30,000 from an affiliate of a related party which completed the funding of an $830,000 loan on Valencia (an industrial property located in Arizona sold in April 2003) entered into in December of 2002. The mortgage of $830,000 was repaid in conjunction with the sale of the property in April 2003. In addition, funds were used to pay amounts due related to the Teachout settlement of $250,000, to acquire units in the Operating Partnership for $223,000, to pay off notes to former limited partners of $237,000 and to purchase shares of common stock of the Company for $297,000 pursuant to a stock repurchase plan. Also, Mr. Galardi purchased from the Company 15,243 shares of the Company’s common stock for $250,000 in May 2003.
The following details the Company’s significant borrowings and repayment of borrowings activity during the two years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004.
On December 14, 2005, the Company refinanced its debt on 800 and 888 Sam Houston Parkway debt with a short-term $4,200,000 revolving credit promissory note with a bank. The balance due on the debt was $1,884,000 and $1,725,000, respectively, at the time of the refinance. Net proceeds of $518,000 were received as a result of the refinance. On December 29, 2005, the Company entered into a long-term loan agreement in the amount of $4,400,000 with a credit union and paid the balance due on the revolving credit promissory note. The new loan bears interest at a fixed rate of 6.25% and matures in December 2015.
23
On October 28, 2005, the Company made a principal pay-down of $4,634,630 on its note payable to the former limited partners of Fund II. The payment reduced the principal amount due on the note from $8,561,662 to $3,927,032. The payment represented a $55.00 per unit pay-down on the original obligation of $101.55 per unit.
On October 14, 2005, the Company entered into a loan modification agreement with a bank that provided the Company an additional $3,500,000 (exclusive of loan costs) on Mira Mesa, an office property located in San Diego California. The modification increased the Company’s debt on the property from $9,000,000 to $12,500,000. The interest rate on the loan was changed from prime plus 1% to the one-year treasury constant maturity rate plus 3%. All other loan terms and conditions remained unchanged. The Company also entered into a $2,500,000 loan agreement with the bank secured by three of the Company’s other assets. The $2,500,000 note bears interest at the one-year treasury constant maturity rate plus 3% and matures in October 2008. In January 2006, the $12,500,000 loan was paid in full in connection with the sale of Mira Mesa and a $500,000 pay-down was made on the $2,500,000 loan in connection with the sale of the Company’s Sorrento II property.
On August 27, 2005, the Company financed the repurchase of 10,000 shares of restricted stock for $85,000 ($8.50 per share) and consideration of $10,000 for the cancellation of a participating profit agreement with a $95,000 note. The note bears interest at prime plus 1% per annum and matures in July 2006.
On August 24, 2005, the Company entered into a loan agreement in the amount of $2,800,000 on 5450 Northwest Central, one of its office properties and repaid debt of $2,844,000. The loan bears interest at a fixed rate of 5.38% per annum and matures in September 2015. Net cash paid to refinance the debt amounted to $167,000.
On April 6, 2005, the Company refinanced a $4,574,000 loan on 8300 Bissonnet, one of its office properties, due to mature in November 2005, and entered into a fixed rate promissory note in the amount of $4,758,000. The note bears interest at 5.51% per annum and matures in May 2015. Net cash paid to refinance the debt amounted to $65,000.
In February 2005, the Company refinanced debt of $2,385,000 on 8100 Washington, one of its office properties, with a new loan in the amount of $2,350,000 and cash. The new loan bears interest at a fixed rate of 5.59% per annum and matures in February 2015. Net cash paid to refinance the debt amounted to $167,000.
In December 2004, the Company received a $532,000 loan from John N. Galardi. The note, which bore interest at a fixed interest rate of 12% per annum, was paid in April 2005.
In October 2004, in connection with the acquisition of an office property in Houston, Texas, the Company assumed a loan in the amount of $4,384,000. The loan bears interest at a fixed rate of 5.93% per annum and matures in June 2014. The Company also entered into an agreement that provided for seller financing of $316,000, bearing interest at a fixed rate of 5.93% per annum and maturing in June 2014.
In October 2004, the Company refinanced a $1,176,000 loan on 888 Sam Houston Parkway, one of its office properties, and entered into a revolving credit promissory note in the amount of $2,250,000, of which $1,226,000 has been drawn to cover the repayment of existing debt and financing costs. The availability on the note as of December 31, 2004 was $1,024,000. The note bore interest at prime plus 1% per annum and was due to mature in December 2006. The loan was paid in December 2005 in connection with a refinance.
In August 2004, the Company refinanced a $5,350,000 loan on San Felipe, one of its office properties, with a new loan agreement in the amount of $5,500,000. The new loan bears interest at a fixed rate of 5.65% per annum and matures in August 2014. The Company funded closing costs of approximately $178,000 and escrowed $327,000 for future capital expenditures, real estate taxes and insurance related to
24
the August 2004 refinance. Net proceeds of $2,059,000 were received in December 2003 related to the December 2003 refinance of the original $3,000,000 loan on the property.
In July 2004, the Company refinanced a $5,330,000 loan on Northwest Corporate Center, one of its office properties, with a new loan agreement in the amount of $5,750,000. The new loan bears interest at a fixed rate of 6.26% per annum and matures in August 2014. No proceeds were received directly as a result of the refinance, however $350,000 is being held in escrow by the lender to assist the funding of future capital expenditures at the property.
In May 2004, the Company refinanced a $3,132,000 loan on Mira Mesa, with a new one-year loan agreement in the amount of $7,500,000. The new loan, which contained two six-month extension options, bore interest at a fixed rate of 7.95% per annum. Net proceeds of $3,440,000 were received as a result of the refinance. The loan was paid in January 2006 in connection with the sale of the property.
In May 2004, the Company financed insurance premiums of $373,000 on its properties and agreed to pay a service fee of $85,000 over one year. The insurance premium note was paid in full in February 2005. The Company financed an additional insurance premium during 2004 of $133,000, with scheduled payments through June 2005. The balance was paid during the second quarter of 2005.
In 2002, the lender under a loan agreement related to the South Carolina shopping center properties notified the Company it was technically in default under its loan agreement for non-compliance with certain covenants, including covenants requiring improvements to shopping center properties. Thereafter, the lender notified the Company that it was in default for failure to pay a matured portion of the loan, which matured in November 2002. In early 2003, the lender sold the loan to the major tenant in two of the shopping centers. In December 2003, the Company sold one of the shopping center properties and repaid $3,935,000, which included the pay-off of the matured portion of the loan. As of December 31, 2005, the remaining balance of the loan was approximately $2,756,000. The Company continues to discuss the non-compliance matter with the new lender. The new lender has not accelerated the loan.
The Company expects to meet its short-term liquidity requirements for normal property operating expenses and general and administrative expenses from cash generated by operations and cash currently held. In addition, the Company anticipates capital costs to be incurred related to leasing space and improvements to properties provided the estimated leasing of space is complete. The Company anticipates meeting these obligations with the net cash proceeds generated during the first quarter of 2006 from the sale of three properties and from the use of funds held in escrow by lenders. Based on current analysis, the Company expects the cash generated from the three sales will be adequate to meet these obligations.
The Company has paid, refinanced or extended all material debt which was due to mature in 2005 and 2006 with the exception of a mortgage loan due to mature in July 2006 on its one remaining shopping center property. The lender was a major tenant at another shopping center property sold in 2005. The Company anticipates either refinancing the debt, negotiating a loan extension or selling this property.

(1) See Note 8—Notes Payable. These amounts do not include interest associated with the debt.
(2) Represents obligations related to the settlement of the Teachout litigation at December 31, 2005. This obligation was paid in full in January 2006.
(3) Represents estimated cost of commitments for tenant improvements and lease commissions related to the leasing of space to new or renewing tenants.
Substantially all of the leases at the industrial and shopping center properties provide for pass-through to tenants of certain operating costs, including real estate taxes, common area maintenance expenses, and insurance. Leases at the office properties typically provide for rent adjustment and pass-through of increases in operating expenses during the term of the lease. All of these provisions may permit the Company to increase rental rates or other charges to tenants in response to rising prices and therefore, serve to reduce the Company’s exposure to the adverse effects of inflation.
This Report on Form 10-K contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934. These forward-looking statements are based on management’s beliefs and expectations, which may not be correct. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements include the following: the Company’s level of indebtedness and ability to refinance its debt; the fact that the Company’s predecessors have had a history of losses in the past; unforeseen liabilities which could arise as a result of the prior operations of companies or properties acquired in the Consolidation; risks inherent in the Company’s acquisition and development of properties in the future, including risks associated with the Company’s strategy of investing in under-valued assets; general economic, business and market conditions, including the impact of the current economic downturn; changes in federal and local laws and regulations; increased competitive pressures; and other factors, including the factors set forth below, as well as factors set forth elsewhere in this Report on Form 10-K.
ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK
The Company’s primary market risk exposure is to changes in interest rates obtainable on its secured and unsecured borrowings.
It is the Company’s policy to manage its exposure to fluctuations in market interest rates for its borrowings through the use of fixed rate debt instruments to the extent that reasonably favorable rates are
26
obtainable with such arrangements. In order to maximize financial flexibility when selling properties and minimize potential prepayment penalties on fixed rate loans, the Company has also entered into variable rate debt arrangements.
The Company had no swap contracts at December 31, 2005 or December 31, 2004. During the year ended December 31, 2004, the Company recorded a benefit of $65,000 attributable to changes in the fair value of its derivatives financial instruments.
At December 31, 2005, the Company’s total indebtedness included fixed-rate debt of approximately $119,094,000 and floating-rate indebtedness of approximately $326,000. The Company continually reviews the portfolio’s interest rate exposure in an effort to minimize the risk of interest rate fluctuations. The Company does not have any other material market-sensitive financial instruments.
The table below provides information about the Company’s financial instruments that are sensitive to changes in interest rates. For debt obligations, the table presents principal cash flows and related weighted average interest rates by expected maturity dates. Weighted average variable rates are based on rates in effect at the reporting date.

The Company believes that the fair values of such instruments approximate carrying value at December 31, 2005.
A change of 1.00% in the index rate to which the Company’s variable rate debt is tied would change the annual interest incurred by the Company by $3,264, with no change per share, based upon the balances outstanding on variable rate instruments and the number of common shares outstanding at December 31, 2005.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
Board of Directors and Stockholders
American Spectrum Realty, Inc.
Houston, Texas
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of American Spectrum Realty, Inc. as of December 31, 2005 and 2004 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2005. We have also audited the schedules listed in the accompanying index. These financial statements and schedules are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and schedules based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and schedules are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and schedules, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and schedules. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of American Spectrum Realty, Inc. at December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2005, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Also, in our opinion, the schedules present fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.

Holders of the OP Units have the option to redeem their units and to receive, at the option of the Company, in exchange for each four OP Units (i) one share of Common Stock of the Company, or (ii) cash equal to the market value of one share of Common Stock of the Company at the date of conversion, but no fractional shares will be issued.
The Company expects to meet its short-term liquidity requirements for normal property operating expenses and general and administrative expenses from cash generated by operations. In addition, the Company anticipates capital costs to be incurred related to leasing space and improvements to properties provided the estimated leasing of space is complete. The Company anticipates meeting these obligations with the net cash proceeds generated during the first quarter of 2006 from the sale of three properties and from the use of funds held in escrow by lenders. Based on current analysis, the Company expects the cash generated from the three sales will be adequate to meet these obligations.
The Company has paid, refinanced or extended all material debt which was due to mature in 2005 and 2006 with the exception of a mortgage loan due to mature in July 2006 on its one remaining shopping center property. The lender was a major tenant at another shopping center property sold in 2005. The Company anticipates either refinancing the debt, negotiating a loan extension or selling this property.

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The financial statements include the accounts of the Operating Partnership and all other subsidiaries of the Company. All significant intercompany transactions, receivables and payables have been eliminated in consolidation.
Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation. In accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, real estate designated as held for sale are accounted for in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 144 and the results of operations of these properties are included in income from discontinued operations. Prior periods have been reclassified for comparability, as required.
Pursuant to a one-for-four reverse stock split of the Company’s Common Stock, every four shares of Common Stock outstanding as of the close of business on March 1, 2004 became one share of new post-split Common Stock. Share and per share data (except par value) in the consolidated financial statements and notes for all periods presented have been adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the results of operations during the reporting period. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.
In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments SFAS No. 155 is an amendment of SFAS No. 140 and SFAS No. 133. SFAS No. 155 permits the election to measure any hybrid financial instrument at fair value (with changes in fair value recognized in earnings) if the hybrid instrument contains an embedded derivative that would otherwise be required to be bifurcated and accounted for separately under SFAS No. 133. The election to measure the hybrid instrument at fair value is made on an instrument-by-instrument basis and is irreversible. SFAS No. 155 will be effective for all instruments acquired, issued, or subject to a remeasurement event occurring after the beginning of the Company’s fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006, with earlier adoption permitted as of the beginning of the Company’s 2006 fiscal year, provided that financial statements for any interim period of that fiscal year have not yet been issued. The adoption of SFAS No. 155 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In June 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20, Accounting Changes, and Statement No. 3, Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statement. SFAS No. 154 changes the requirements for the accounting for, and reporting of, a change in accounting principle. Previously, most voluntary changes in accounting principles were required to be recognized by way of a cumulative effect adjustment within net income during the period of the change. SFAS No. 154 requires retrospective application to prior periods’ financial statements, unless it is impracticable to determine either the period-specific effects or the cumulative effect of the change. SFAS No. 154 is effective for accounting changes made in fiscal years
37
beginning after December 15, 2005; however, the Statement does not change the transition provisions of any existing accounting pronouncements. The adoption of SFAS No. 154 could have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements if the Company changes an accounting principle.
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets—an amendment of APB Opinion No. 29, to address the measurement of exchanges of nonmonetary assets. SFAS No. 153 eliminates the exception from fair value measurement for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a general exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance. A nonmonetary exchange has commercial substance if the future cash flows of the entity are expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange. SFAS No. 153 is effective for nonmonetary exchanges occurring after December 31, 2005. The adoption of SFAS No. 153 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In December 2004, the FASB revised SFAS No. 123, Share—Based Payment (“SFAS No. 123R”). SFAS No. 123R is a revision of SFAS No. 123 and supersedes APB No. 25. SFAS No. 123R requires a public entity to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award. That cost will be recognized over the period in which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award. SFAS No. 123R also requires a public entity to initially measure the cost of employee services rendered in exchange for an award of liability instruments at its current fair value. The fair value of that award is to be remeasured subsequently at each reporting date through the settlement date. Changes in the fair value during the required service period are to be recognized as compensation cost over that period. The Company will adopt SFAS No. 123R January 1, 2006. The adoption of SFAS No. 123R is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Rental properties are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation, unless circumstances indicate that cost, net of accumulated depreciation, cannot be recovered, in which case the carrying value of the property is reduced to estimated fair value. Estimated fair value (i) is based upon the Company’s plans for the continued operation of each property and (ii) is computed using estimated sales price, as determined by prevailing market values for comparable properties and/or the use of capitalization rates multiplied by annualized net operating income based upon the age, construction and use of the building. The fulfillment of the Company’s plans related to each of its properties is dependent upon, among other things, the presence of economic conditions which will enable the Company to continue to hold and operate the properties prior to their eventual sale. Due to uncertainties inherent in the valuation process and in the economy, actual results of operating and disposing of the Company’s properties could be materially different from current expectations.
Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the useful lives of the respective assets. The useful lives are as follows:
Building and Improvements |
| 5 to 40 years |
Tenant Improvements |
| Term of the related lease |
Furniture and Equipment |
| 3 to 5 years |
Cash equivalents include all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase.
38
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, tenant and other receivables, deposits held in escrow, notes payable, accounts payable and accrued expenses. Management believes that the carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments approximate their respective fair market values at December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004.
DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company follows Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 133, as amended, which establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative financial instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts and hedging activities. All derivatives, whether designed as hedging relationships or not, are required to be recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. If the derivative is designated as a fair value hedge, the changes in the fair value of the derivative and of the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk are recognized in earnings. If the derivative is designated as a cash flow hedge, the effective portions of changes in the fair value of the derivative are recorded in other comprehensive income and ineffective portions of changes in the fair value of cash flow hedges are recognized in earnings.
The Company had no interest rate swaps to hedge against fluctuations in interest rates on specific borrowings at December 31, 2005 or December 31, 2004. During the year ended December 31, 2004 the Company recorded a benefit of $65,000 attributable to changes in the fair value of its derivative financial instruments.
DEFERRED FINANCING AND OTHER FEES
Fees paid in connection with the financing and leasing of the Company’s properties are amortized over the term of the related note payable or lease and are included in other assets.
The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“FAS 123”) in October 1995. This standard establishes a fair value approach to valuing stock options awarded to employees as compensation. In December 2002, FASB issued SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure” (“FAS 148”), which amended FAS 123. FAS 148 provides alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In compliance with FAS 148, the Company has elected to continue to follow the intrinsic value method in accounting for its stock-based employee compensation arrangement as defined by APB No. 25 “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”.
The Company has in effect its Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), which is described more fully in Note 16. The Company has elected, as permitted by FAS 123, to use the intrinsic value based method of accounting for stock options consistent with Accounting Principles Board Opinions No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”. The intrinsic value method measures compensation cost for stock options as the excess, if any, of the quoted market price of the Company’s stock at the measurement date over the exercise price. No stock-based employee compensation cost is reflected in net income related to stock options, as all options granted under the Plan had an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant.
39
The following table illustrates the effect on net income (loss) and earnings per share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition of the provisions of FAS 123 to stock-based employee compensation (thousands of dollars):

Unit holders in the Operating Partnership (other than the Company) held a 13.35% and 12.50% limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership at December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively. Each of the holders of the interests in the Operating Partnership (other than the Company) has the option (exercisable after the first anniversary of the issuance of the OP Units) to redeem its OP Units and to receive, at the option of the Company, in exchange for each four OP Units, either (i) one share of Common Stock of the Company, or (ii) cash equal to the value of one share of Common Stock of the Company at the date of conversion, but no fractional shares will be issued.
Certain leases provide for tenant occupancy during periods for which no rent is due or where minimum rent payments increase during the term of the lease. The Company records rental income for the full term of each lease on a straight-line basis. Accordingly, a receivable is recorded from tenants equal to the excess of the amount that would have been collected on a straight-line basis over the amount collected and currently due (Deferred Rent Receivable). When a property is acquired, the term of existing leases is considered to commence as of the acquisition date for purposes of this calculation.
Many of the Company’s leases provide for Common Area Maintenance/Escalations (“CAM/ESC”) as additional tenant revenue amounts due to the Company in addition to base rent. CAM/ESC represents increases in certain property operating expenses (as defined in each respective lease agreement) over the actual operating expense of the property in the base year. The base year is stated in the lease agreement; typically, the year in which the lease commenced. Generally, each tenant is responsible for their prorated share of increases in operating expenses. Tenants are billed an estimated CAM/ESC charge based on the budgeted operating expenses for the year. Within 90 days after the end of each fiscal year, a reconciliation and true up billing of CAM/ESC charges is performed based on actual operating expenses.
The Company’s portfolio of leases turns over continuously, with the number and value of expiring leases varying from year to year. The Company’s ability to re-lease the space to existing or new tenants at rates equal to or greater than those realized historically is impacted by, among other things, the economic conditions of the market in which a property is located, the availability of competing space, and the level of improvements which may be required at the property. No assurance can be given that the rental rates that the Company will obtain in the future will be equal to or greater than those obtained under existing contractual commitments.
40
For each of the three years ended December 31, 2005 no tenants represented 10% or more of rental revenue of the Company.
Net loss per share is calculated based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Stock options outstanding of 39,875 at December 31, 2005 and OP Units (other than those held by the Company) outstanding of 857,159 (convertible into approximately 214,289 shares of common stock) at December 31, 2005 have not been included in the net loss per share calculation since their effect would be antidilutive.
In preparing the Company’s consolidated financial statements, management estimates the income tax in each of the jurisdictions in which the Company operates. This process includes an assessment of current tax expense, the results of tax examinations, and the effects of temporary differences resulting from the different treatment of transactions for tax and financial accounting purposes. These differences may result in deferred tax assets or liabilities which are included in the consolidated balance sheet. The realization of deferred tax assets as a result of future taxable income must be assessed and to the extent that the realization is doubtful, a valuation allowance is established. The Company’s income tax provision is based on calculations and assumptions that will be subject to examination by the taxing authorities in the jurisdictions in which the Company operates. Should the actual results differ from the Company’s estimates, the Company would have to adjust the income tax provision in the period in which the facts and circumstances that give rise to the revision become known. Tax law and rate changes are reflected in the income tax provision in the period in which such changes are enacted.
The Company owns a diverse portfolio of properties primarily comprised of office and industrial properties. The Company also owns one shopping center. Each of these property types represents a reportable segment with distinct uses and tenant types and requires the Company to employ different management strategies. The properties contained in the segments are located in various regions and markets within the United States. The office portfolio consists primarily of suburban office buildings. The industrial portfolio consists of properties designed for warehouse, distribution and light manufacturing for single-tenant or multi-tenant use.
ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS
The Company maintains an allowance reserve for accounts receivable which may not be ultimately collected. The allowance balance maintained is based upon historical collection experience, current aging of amounts due and specific evaluations of the collectibility of individual balances. All tenant account balances over 90 days past due are fully reserved. Accounts are written off against the reserve when they are deemed to be uncollectible.

2005.
No properties were acquired in 2005. As of the date of this Form 10-K, the Company has acquired two properties during 2006 (See Note 20—Subsequent Events).
On October 21, 2004, the Company acquired an office property in Houston, Texas, consisting of approximately 81,538 rentable square feet. The aggregate acquisition costs of approximately $5,900,000 included proceeds from a previously sold property, the assumption of existing debt and seller financing.
On August 2, 2004, the Company acquired a 42,860 square foot office property in Houston, Texas, which is adjacent to an office property owned by the Company. The Company previously held the note on the property. Acquisition costs of approximately $2,084,000 included the settlement of the note, the issuance of 10,000 shares of restricted Common Stock and cash.
2005.
The Company sold three properties during 2005. On October 27, 2005, the Company sold The Lakes, a 311,912 square foot/408 unit apartment complex located in Hazelwood, Missouri for a sales price of $17,125,000. On September 22, 2005, the Company sold Richardson Plaza a 107,827 square foot shopping center located in Columbia, South Carolina for a sales price of $5,000,000. On March 1, 2005, the Company sold Sorrento I, a vacant 43,036 square foot single tenant industrial property located in San Diego, California for a sales price of $4,918,000.
A gain of $7,895,000 was generated in connection with the three sales, which is reflected as discontinued operations in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2005. The sales generated proceeds of $15,298,000 of which $5,210,000 was held in escrow as of December 31, 2005. It is anticipated that the proceeds held in escrow will be used as a source to facilitate the funding of future acquisitions in tax-deferred exchanges.
42
2004.
During 2004, the Company sold three properties for an aggregate sales price of $12,214,000. The properties, which totaled 316,054 square feet, consisted of one office property, one industrial property and a 16.65 acre parcel of undeveloped land. These three sales generated proceeds of approximately $11,357,000 of which $1,191,000 was used to assist the funding of an office property acquisition in a tax-deferred exchange. A net loss of $2,298,000 was incurred in connection with the transactions.
In the accompanying consolidated statement of operations for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, the results of operations for the sold properties mentioned above are shown in the section “Discontinued operations” through their respective sale date.
As of the date of this Form 10-K, the Company has sold three properties during 2006 (See Note 20—Subsequent Events).
Upon acquisitions of real estate, the Company assesses the fair value of acquired tangible and intangible assets (including land, buildings, tenant improvements, above and below market leases, origination costs, acquired in-place leases, other identified intangible assets and assumed liabilities in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141), and allocates the purchase price to the acquired assets and assumed liabilities. The Company also considers an allocation of purchase price of other acquired intangibles, including acquired in-place leases.
The Company evaluates acquired “above and below” market leases at their fair value (using a discount rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) equal to the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to each in-place lease and (ii) management’s estimate of fair market lease rates for each corresponding in-place lease, measured over a period equal to the remaining term of the lease for above-market leases and the initial term plus the term of any below-market fixed rate renewal options for below-market leases. Based on its acquisitions to date, the Company’s allocation to intangible assets for assets purchased has been immaterial.
The Company leases its office, industrial and shopping center properties under non-cancelable operating lease agreements. Future minimum rents to be received as of December 31, 2005, are as follows (dollars in thousands):

NOTE 4. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
Real estate assets held for sale.
As of December 31, 2005, Mira Mesa, Sorrento II and Countryside were classified as “Real estate held for sale”. Mira Mesa and Sorrento II, both office properties located in San Diego, California, were
43
sold January 6, 2006 and January 13, 2006, respectively. Countryside, an office property located in Palatine, Illinois, was sold March 14, 2006.
As of December 31, 2004, Mira Mesa, Sorrento II, Countryside and the three properties sold during 2005 were classified as “Real estate held for sale”. The three properties sold during 2005 consisted of a 311,912 square foot/408 unit apartment complex located in Hazelwood, Missouri, a 107,827 square foot shopping center located in Columbia, South Carolina and a vacant 43,036 square foot single tenant industrial property located in San Diego, California. The sales generated net proceeds of approximately $15,298,000 of which $5,210,000 held in escrow as of December 31, 2005. It is anticipated the proceeds held in escrow will be used as a source to facilitate the funding of future acquisitions in tax-deferred exchanges.
The carrying amounts of the properties classified as “Real estate held for sale” at December 31, 2005 and 2004 are summarized below (dollars in thousands).

Net income (loss) from discontinued operations.
Net income from discontinued operations for the year ended December 31, 2005 includes the operations of the three properties classified as “Real estate held for sale” at December 31, 2005 and the three properties sold during 2005. The three properties sold during 2005 generated a net gain on sale of discontinued operations of $7,895,000. Income tax expense on discontinued operations of $2,198,000 was recorded during the year ended December 31, 2005.
Net loss from discontinued operations for the year ended December 31, 2004 includes the operations of the three properties classified as “Real estate held for sale” at December 31, 2005, the three properties sold during 2005 and three properties sold during 2004. The three properties sold during 2004 generated a net loss on sale of discontinued operations of $2,298,000. An income tax benefit on discontinued operations of $985,000 was recorded during the year ended December 31, 2004.
Net loss from discontinued operations for the year ended December 31, 2003 includes the operations of the three properties classified as “Real estate held for sale” at December 31, 2005, the three properties sold during 2005, three properties sold during 2004 and eleven properties sold during 2003. The eleven properties sold in 2003 generated a net gain on sale of discontinued operations of $2,540,000. The net gain recognized for 2003 was after taking into consideration an impairment charge totaling $7,500,000 recorded in 2003 related to four of the eleven properties. The impairment was based on the anticipated sales price less cost to sell as compared to the carrying value of the assets. An income tax benefit on discontinued operations of $1,656,000 was recorded during the year ended December 31, 2003.
The condensed consolidated statements of operations of discontinued operations are summarized below (dollars in thousands):

NOTE 5. MORTGAGE LOAN RECEIVABLE
On October 27, 2003, the Company acquired a note secured by a property adjacent to an office property owned by the Company. The property consists of 42,860 square feet and is located in Houston, Texas. The purchase of this note was funded with a new loan to the Company from the lender that owned the note. Loan costs of approximately $41,000 were incurred in connection with the transaction. The note bore interest at 7.5% per annum. On August 2, 2004 the Company acquired the property. Acquisition costs of approximately $2,084,000 included settlement of the note, the issuance of 10,000 shares of restricted Common Stock and cash.
NOTE 6. INVESTMENT IN MANAGEMENT COMPANY
Pursuant to the Company’s 2001 consolidation transaction (“the Consolidation”), the Company acquired a portion of the property management business of CGS Real Estate Company, Inc (“CGS”). The Company recorded a $4,000,000 investment in the property management business as determined by an exchange value computation.
SFAS No. 142—“Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”—requires intangible assets that are not subject to amortization be tested for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. If the carrying amount of the intangible asset exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss shall be recognized in an amount equal to that excess. After an impairment loss is recognized, the adjusted carrying amount of the intangible asset shall be its new accounting basis. Subsequent reversal of a previously recognized impairment loss is prohibited.
At December 31, 2005, the Company evaluated its investment in the management company in accordance with SFAS No. 142 and determined that the fair value had not decreased below carrying value and that no impairment was necessary.

In December 2004, the Company received a $532,000 loan from John N. Galardi, a director and a principal stockholder of the Company. The note, which bore interest at a fixed interest rate of 12% per annum, was paid in April 2005.

NOTE 9. NOTES PAYABLE, LITIGATION SETTLEMENT
As the result of the settlement of the Teachout litigation, which was documented in the third quarter of 2003, the Company reaffirmed its previously announced obligation to pay the former limited partners of Sierra Pacific Development Fund II (“Fund II”) as of the date of the Consolidation, or their assignees or transferees, the loans which were made and called by the former general partner of Fund II as part of the Consolidation. Pursuant to the settlement, the Company established a repayment plan and secured the debt with a second deed of trust on an office property owned by the Company. This repayment plan consisted of a promissory note in the amount of $8,800,000, which bore interest at 6% per annum and matured in March 2006. The note was payable to the former limited partners of Fund II, each of whom has a pro-rata interest in the note. Interest-only payments, which were payable quarterly, commenced June 2, 2003. The note could be prepaid in whole or in part at any time without penalty.
As part of the settlement, the Company agreed to pay legal fees totaling $1,200,000 to the plaintiff’s counsel. The Company made a scheduled payment of $250,000 in the third quarter of 2003 with the remaining $950,000 consisting of two promissory notes. The first note, in the amount of $700,000, bore interest at 6% per annum and matured in March 2006. Interest-only payments, which were payable quarterly, commenced June 2, 2003. The second promissory note, in the amount of $250,000, bore no interest and matured in March 2006. The notes, which were secured by a second deed of trust on an office property owned by the Company, could be prepaid in whole or in part at any time without penalty.
During the fourth quarter of 2004, the Company purchased 2,347 of the 86,653 interests outstanding in the $8,800,000 promissory note. The Company paid $140,820 (or $60 per unit), which reduced it debt obligation related to the settlement by $238,338.
In October 2005, the Company made a principal pay-down of $4,634,630 on its note payable to the former limited partners of Fund II. The payment reduced the principal amount due on the note from $8,561,662 to $3,927,032. The payment represented a $55.00 per unit pay-down on the original obligation of $101.55 per unit.
Pursuant to prior agreements, Mr. Carden, Mr. Galardi and CGS paid their balances due to the Company (See Note 7).
In January 2006, the balance due of $3,927,032 to the former limited partners of Fund II and the $950,000 in legal fees to plaintiff’s counsel were paid in full
NOTE 10. NET LOSS ON EARLY EXTINGUISHMENT OF DEBT
During 2005, in connection with the refinance of 800 and 888 Sam Houston Parkway, the Company recorded a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $95,000 related to the write-off of unamortized loan costs.
During 2004, the Company recorded a net loss on early extinguishment of debt of $116,000. The net loss consisted of (i) a prepayment penalty of $120,000 and the write-off of unamortized loan costs of $94,000 in connection with the 2004 refinance of San Felipe, and (ii) a $98,000 gain related to the purchase of interests of former limited partners of Fund II in the $8,800,000 promissory note related to the settlement of the Teachout litigation. The Company purchased 2,347 of the 86,653 interests outstanding at $60 per unit, which reduced its debt obligation related to the settlement $238,338.
During 2003, in connection with the 2003 refinance of San Felipe, the Company recorded a loss on early extinguishments of debt of $145,000 related to the write-off of an unamortized loan discount and prepayment penalty.
The net loss on early extinguishment of debt is included in other income in the consolidated statements of operations.

Unit holders in the Operating Partnership (other than the Company) held a 13.35% and 12.50% limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership at December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively. Each of the holders of the interests in the Operating Partnership (other than the Company) has the option (exercisable after the first anniversary of the issuance of the OP Units) to redeem its OP Units and to receive, at the option of the Company, in exchange for each four OP Units, either (i) one share of Common Stock of the Company, or (ii) cash equal to the value of one share of Common Stock of the Company at the date of conversion, but no fractional shares will be issued.
During the year ended December 31, 2005, a total of 5,826 OP Units were exchanged for 1,455 shares of Common Stock.
During the year ended December 31, 2004, a total of 35,772 OP Units were exchanged for 8,936 shares of Common Stock.
NOTE 12. REDEEMABLE COMMON STOCK
On October 23, 2001, the Company issued 5,000 shares of its Common Stock, $.01 par value per share, with the holder’s right to compel the sale of the stock back to the Company (the “Put”) at a fixed price of $60.00 per share during the period from October 31, 2002 to November 30, 2002. The Put exercise period was subsequently extended to November 30, 2004 through December 31, 2004. In December 2004, the Company received notice that the holder exercised its right to sell the Common Stock back to the Company for $60.00 per share or a total of $300,000 and subsequently agreed to pay the sum in twelve monthly installments of $25,000 in 2005. During 2005, the Company paid the twelve installments and placed the 5,000 shares into treasury.
NOTE 13. REPURCHASE OF COMMON STOCK
In January 2006, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to an additional 100,000 shares of its common stock, which increased the authorized amount to 200,000 shares. The stock repurchases would be made from time to time in open market transactions.
During 2005, a total of 79,312 shares were repurchased in open market transactions, increasing the number of shares repurchased to 95,486. The total cost of the 2005 repurchases amounted to $855,000 at an average price of $10.59 per share.
In December 2005, the Company repurchased 5,000 shares for $300,000 ($60.00 per share) pursuant to a put and call agreement entered into in 2001 (See Note 12).
In November 2005, the Company repurchased 2,625 shares from a former employee for $31,106 ($11.85 per share).
On April 4, 2005 the Company offered to purchase up to 250,000 shares pursuant to an odd lot buy back program. Shareholders who participated in the program received the price-per-share equal to the average of the daily closing prices of the Company’s Common Stock during the week in which response cards were received and processed. Shareholders with fewer than 100 shares were eligible to participate. The offer expired September 30, 2005. A total of 24,104 odd lot shares were validly tendered at an average price of $8.92 per share. The total cost of the stock repurchased amounted to $217,000.
In August 2005, the Company repurchased 10,000 shares of restricted stock for $85,000 ($8.50 per share). The shares were originally issued in August 2004 in connection with the purchase of an office property in Houston, Texas.
52
On October 11, 2004 the Company offered to purchase up to 250,000 shares at $8.25 per share to holders of fewer than 100 shares pursuant to an odd lot buy back program. The offer, which expired December 1, 2004, resulted in 63,327 odd lot shares validly tendered. The total cost of the stock repurchased amounted to $532,000.
In September 2004, in conjunction with a resignation agreement, an employee relinquished 1,250 shares of restricted common stock.
The provision for income taxes on income consists of the following for the periods ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003 (thousands of dollars):

The Company has federal and state net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $12,576,000 and $10,813,000, respectively, as of December 31, 2005.
The Company is a loss corporation as defined in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. Therefore, if certain changes in the Company’s ownership should occur, there could be a significant annual limitation on the amount of loss carryforwards and future recognized losses that can be utilized and ultimately some amount of loss carryforwards may not be available. Such changes could result in additional tax provision. The net operating loss expires in 2022 through 2025.
For the three years ended December 31, 2005, the reported income tax (benefit) expense differs from the amount of benefit determined by applying the United States statutory federal income tax rate of 34% to loss before income taxes as a result of the following:

SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”, requires a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets if, based on available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. For 2001, based on management’s intent to become a REIT, which would make the Company not generally liable for federal corporate income taxes, and its intent to sell real estate assets only through tax deferred exchanges, management recorded a valuation allowance against the entire net deferred tax asset since uncertainty existed as to the ultimate tax asset to be realized.
In 2002, management reevaluated an earlier decision and determined that it may sell certain of the Company’s real estate assets outside of tax-deferred exchanges. If the Company elects REIT status, during the 10-year period following such election, the Company will be subject to an entity level tax on the income it recognizes upon the sale of assets contributed by certain partnerships that it held before electing REIT status in an amount up to the amount of the built-in gains at the time the Company becomes a REIT. The potential tax related to this built-in gain for book purposes is approximately $13,165,000. Therefore, in 2002, the Company recognized a deferred tax liability for this potential tax and has recorded this liability as a charge to equity. During 2002, the deferred tax liability for the built-in gains was reduced primarily due to the tax effect of impairments recorded for certain real estate assets held.
Based on the current strategic plans of the Company, management has determined that it was more likely than not that future taxable income, primarily from the gain on the sale of real estate assets, would be sufficient to enable the Company to realize all of its deferred tax assets. Therefore, for the three years ended December 31, 2005, no valuation allowance has been recorded and the valuation allowance previously recorded in 2001 has been reversed. The tax effect of the impairments recorded and the reversal of the previously recorded allowance along with the tax benefits of the current year tax assets have been recorded in the statement of operations as an income tax benefit.

The Company accounts for the Plan under APB Opinion 25. Therefore, no compensation cost has been recognized for the granting of options. The estimated fair value of options granted during the periods ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, were $6.04, $6.60 and $6.96 per share, respectively. The fair value of each option is estimated, as of the grant date, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions used for the grants: expected volatility of 62%, 40% and 53% the 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively; risk-free interest rate of 4.28%, 4.50% and 3.85% for 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively; and expected lives of 10 years. The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options, which have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. Because the Company’s stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management’s opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its employee stock options.
No shares were issued under the Plan as restricted stock during the three years ended December 31, 2005. The recipient of restricted stock has the right to vote all shares, to receive and retain all cash dividends payable to holders of ASR shares of record on or after the date of issuance and to exercise all other rights, powers and privileges of a holder of ASR shares, with the exception that the recipient may not transfer the ASR shares during the restriction period. Compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. For the period ended December 31, 2003, 2004 and 2005, $332,000, $101,000 and $55,000, respectively, was recognized as expense for restricted shares issued. As of December 31, 2005, all shares issued as restricted stock are fully vested and compensation expense to restricted shares issued have been recognized in their entirety.
NOTE 17. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The following is information concerning legal proceedings to which the Company or its subsidiaries is a party or of which any of their property is subject:
The Company is a defendant in a lawsuit related to the sale of Van Buren, a parcel of undeveloped land sold in September 2004. The lawsuit, filed January 21, 2005 in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California, is associated with a participating profits agreement. The plaintiff, Warren F. Ryan, seeks general damages, including interest, of $700,000 or according to proof at trial; special damages in an unspecified amount; declaratory relief, and miscellaneous relief such as attorney’s fees and
56
costs. Discovery has commenced in this action and, under the current schedule, discovery is set to close on May 31, 2006. The Court has not set a trial date. The Company believes that this claim is without merit and is vigorously defending itself.
The Company is aware that two of its properties may contain hazardous substances above reportable levels. Both properties are in located their respective state’s environmental funds. During 2005, the Company accrued a $75,000 liability for future environmental cleanup efforts for one of the properties. These efforts, which have been approved by the regulatory authorities, will take place over the next two years. The accrual is reflected on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2005. It is anticipated that cleanup costs for the other property will be paid by the state. Consequently, no amount has been accrued in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the other property.
In connection with the acquisition of an office property in August 2004, the Company entered into an agreement with the seller in which the seller would participate in any profits generated from the future sale of the property. In August 2005, the Company terminated the participating profits agreement for consideration of $10,000 paid by the Company.
Certain claims and lawsuits have arisen against the Company in its normal course of business. The Company believes that such claims and lawsuits will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, cash flow or results of operations.
As of December 31, 2005, the Company owned a diverse portfolio of properties comprising office, industrial and a shopping center property. Each of these property types represents a reportable segment with distinct uses and tenant types and requires the Company to employ different management strategies. The properties contained in the segments are located in various regions and markets within the United States. The office portfolio consists primarily of suburban office buildings. The industrial portfolio consists of properties designed for warehouse, distribution and light manufacturing for single-tenant or multi-tenant use. The Company’s sole remaining shopping center property is located in Columbia, South Carolina.
57
The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. The Company evaluates performance of its property types based on net operating income derived by subtracting property operating expenses from rental revenue. Significant information used by the Company for its reportable segments as of and for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004, and 2003 is as follows (dollars in thousands):
